NOTES

This survey used sample from Ipsos' KnowledgePanel to supplement the ATP. For the KnowledgePanel sample, Hispanics who were either born in Mexico or had no more than a high school education were oversampled relative to those who had more than a high-school education and were born outside of Mexico.

Variable SAMPLE_W58 can be used to identify if the sample is from ATP (SAMPLE_W58=2) or KnowledgePanel (SAMPLE_W58=1). 

Other-specify responses to question SELFNAT were backcoded with Mexico and Cuba split out. 

Variable PRIMARY_LANGUAGE_W58 is a coded variable for respondent language based on questions LAN1-LAN4. Syntax is included below.

SYNTAX

The following SPSS syntax can be used to create variable PRIMARY_LANGAUGE:


compute Spnspk=LAN1_W58.
compute Spnrd=LAN2_W58.
compute Engspk=LAN3_W58.
compute Engrd=LAN4_W58.
EXECUTE.
 
recode Spnspk Spnrd Engspk Engrd (1=2)(2=1)(else=0).
 
compute English = Engspk + Engrd.
compute Spanish = Spnspk + Spnrd.
EXECUTE.
 
compute Language = English - Spanish.
compute PRIMARY_LANGUAGE_W58 = Language.
EXECUTE.
 
recode PRIMARY_LANGUAGE_W58 (2,3,4=1)(-1,0,1=2)(-2,-3,-4=3).
val label PRIMARY_LANGUAGE_W58 (1) English dominant (2) Bilingual (3) Spanish dominant.
var label PRIMARY_LANGUAGE_W58 Primary language of respondent.
